Quantitative aspects of high-resolution solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Abstract

The effects of the magic-angle rotation and cross-polarisation techniques on signal intensities (particularly relative signal intensities) of high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra for dilute spin-1/2 nuclei in solids are discussed, and examples given. The value of undertaking a range of different experiments is emphasised, particularly for discriminating between different chemical sites or physical environments.
